Summary: Greatest story ever put on film
Review: This is a MUST-HAVE!
#3 can be excused. it was a forced production by paramount.
the 1st 2 Godfathers were released before i was born. but i've watched them so many times that i pretty much have the entire 2 movies memorized. this dvd trilogy collection should be a part of every dvd player owner's collection. hell, they should just bundle it with dvd players. i've waited a long time for the dvd release.
too bad there won't be a godfather 4. i would've been like one of those star wars fanatics wating on line the night before to get tickets. mr copolla if you're reading this... please please please make a godfather 4!!!!!!

Summary: The greatest movies
Review: I think in order to say you have a complete set of DVDs you have to own this collection.Some people want to buy just the first two parts, i think they should have them all as one set . They are connected in a time line and in a sequence of events that is developed during it . Another resone to own this set is the extra elements that you will get on the fifth DVD . However, this collection need another DVD ( sixth one) to acommedate more documentaries on the movies, more on the great sondtrack, interviews with the stars of the movie (Brando, Al pacino, Denaro).They should talk about their roles in the movies.

Summary: Two of the best movies ever made
Review: I give this compilation 5 stars because of the greatness of Godfather I and II, and despite the mediocre Godfather III. For me, there is no deeper study and portrayal of corruption in the form of Michael Corleone's transformation from idealist to the spiritually dead mafia don. The opening line "I believe in America" is haunting because these films depict a fine line - and sometime none - between the "legitimate" corporate captain and the criminal, and they show what results from a narrow, single-minded, relentless thirst for power and material gain.

Summary: An Essential Piece for ANY DVD Collection
Review: Perhaps the only true criticism being offered out there that may have some merit is how this 5 disk set is in the original form, versus the Godfather Epic, which combined 1&2, allowing for a sense of chronological order. In all honesty, I don't mind or care. A person can make a case either way about how the Epic was worked out nicely, featuring De Niro as Young Vicente, then Brando, then Pacino takes over the Family business. But in arguing the notion of preservation director's intent, or the original way the film was made, this is a nice way to see the trilogy. It is also the first way I ever witnessed the films.I am very pleased to see all of the bonuses that have been added to compliment such a great piece of cinematic achievemnt. The deleted scenes, Oscar acceptances (Brando's non-acceptance, rather), commentaries and the others, it will add to the old fan and new fan's knowledge of one of the great films of all time. I must admit, Godfather III was never high on my list, but the first one was always a work to be cherished, the second another to be remembered. If you like these, I also highly recommend Goodfellas (which would be nice if Scorsese offered some commentary).

Summary: A deal I shall refuse.
Review: Godfather 1 and Godfather 2 are among the ten greatest films ever made. Godfather 2 is probably the finest sequel ever made. Place these two with The Conversation and Apocalypse Now and Mr. Coppola definitely takes his place, along with Capra, Ford, Lean, Hitchcock, Spielberg (to name a few), as one of the finest directors ever. The extras on this DVD look outstanding. The only problem is Godfather 3. This movie is quite forgettable and was made for the cash,not because the story needed to be continued. Coppola was asked why he felt Godfather 3 needed to be made (on a Bravo program), and he stated FOR THE MONEY!! The movie is long, slow, and contrived. It adds very little to the saga. Although the collection looks great on features, I'll wait until Godfather 1 and 2 are released individually. For those who plan to buy it, I can see why. It may be worth the price just to get the first two installments! I'll bet after a few months the dvd for the individual movies will be released and I'll buy the first two at that time.

Summary: Better than a box of cannolis!
Review: Whoa mama mia! I couldn't believe I was given an advance preview of this fine DVD set (ah, it pays to have mob connections, huh?) And it's safe to say that this collection is truly a must-have if ever there was one. This one has everything we could hope for and should be awarded a prize under the category: NOW THIS IS HOW YOU PACKAGE A DVD!
What hasn't already been said about Godfather 1 and 2 that hasn't already been said. The words "masterpiece" and "brilliant" are thrown around too easily but do apply here most definitely. The third part, mama mia, what the hell is this??? Sofia Coppola's acting makes me want to sleep with a horse's head. Ah, but Al Pacino rules and he rules big time in all three movies. And how about that Brando...wondeful!
So pick this one up, it'll be worth the money....I promise you.

Summary: The Greatest Story and Very Real.
Review: This really is the way the life was during the time of the Godfathers. Really Mafia but either way its a very real movie. And Marlon Brando made it Great!! I just love the movie and how they respected him and the ones that stepped in his shoes after death. They were a very close knitted family and thats the way family really should be. Especially if you still live with them. Or if you respect and honor them. I would very much like to see Godfather IV. It was on T.V. with Pacino very gray and his son was given the ring. But Pacino sister didn't like him. And I can't remember if the son took it or not. If possible fine this movie, please. If you like the way life was then or still is then you will really love these movies. I believe you can get a child to understand these movies. But you have to really handle it very carefully. Adults now has a hard time understanding themselves more less others. Maybe thats why I have always liked this movie. To me its not just their way of laws,dues of rent or others taxes. But who was #1.

Summary: They pull me back in!
Review: Every time I think I've got my set complete, I get pulled back in!!! I can't wait to see these incredible, epic movies on DVD. I am currently the proud owner of 2 full sets of the Godfather Trilogy, the original and the widescreen edition. If you still haven't seen the Godfather, buy, watch, enjoy it and get to know the Corleon family.

Summary: It's the Godfather
Review: It's the film that started the whole mafia craze, appeals to all type of movie goers, it has a beautiful plot, action, violence, intriguing and interesting characters, and a mastermind director Coppolla, and talented writer Mario Puzo that brings all these elements together for a good family fun movie. It also has good dvd extras for the techies and nerds out there
